38 bhp improvement (on rolling road) for less than £7
- Thread starter Busterboo
- Start date
I just bought a pack of redex, certainly seems to make a difference on my 23i.
6 x 500ml £30 delivered..
I wouldn't have wasted money if i didn't notice a difference.
I test different fuels or redex by how easy i can get the car to 60mph in 2nd gear, usually the start of the red line on the rpm gauge.

Redex silenced my noisy fuel pump therefor saving me paying about £300 to get it changed. It didn't do anything else 
you missed a decimal point... 3.8bhp improvement for £7 i could believe!

I think additive products like forte/redex have their uses, if like me, you take lots of small local trips, the car barely gets hot enough to burn fuel cleanly, this would help burn fuel more efficiently causing less carbonisation build up. If, on the otherhand, you spend alot of time doing regular long motorway journeys, additives would have little to no benefit. Maybe, it's as mentioned a placebo for the car, but I use it regularly on the new lower octane fuel.
I use Liqui Moly injector cleaner, been recommended it by a couple of mechanics. The car seems to run bit better but might be placebo effect but it can't do no harm and from what I have told it does work to clean the injection system:

Do a trackday in it, that'll clear out the pipes and burn off any nasties! :driving:

Jectron or DI-Jectron?

Jectron as per in the link in my original post.
Right, I've used Jectron recently -- I guess I should have posed it as... What's the difference.

No idea, in the link it says jectron but the actual bottle says in german Inyection Reiniger which i think means injection cleaner. Jectron or Di-Jectron is not actually mentioned on the bottle.
One is definitely more expensive...

Havent see those in Europe, usually just get the one shown in the link i posted. But from your photos Jectron is for cars without direct injection e.g. N52 and Di-jectron is for cars with direct injection e.g. N54 N20
